Cross slab. Tang shaped outline, rounded on top, blunt at base. It bears a double outline linear equal armed cross with deeply curved angles and circular central hollow in a ring, the whole enclosed in a triple outline circumference ring. Shape quadrants defined by double line. Very similar to the cross-slab (OF014-029018-) illustrated by Macalister (1949, 74, no. 855), could be the same slab.

Kendrick, JRSAI 69 (1939) p. 17 (T22) Fig. 9.
Likely dating to the early medieval period, this cross slab may have served a Christian memorial or waymarking function. The double outline cross is typical of insular Celtic art and may reflect local Christian traditions or pilgrimage routes.
